Your letter, laden with many a graceful phrase, many a wondrous inner meaning, has been
received. Its perusal brought composure and tranquillity
to my soul and gladness to my heart,
inasmuch as from between its lines I could discern
the tokens of your unswerving constancy in God's
Mighty Cause and of your intense devotion to the
almighty Lord. I beseech God to illumine your heart
with the light of His love, to unloose your tongue in
magnifying His praise and in extolling His glory, to
strengthen you with so mighty a power that you
may vindicate the truth of His Faith by expounding
infallible proofs and conclusive testimonies.

You have told me about your taking part in
special gatherings for the training of Persian and
American Bahá'í children. Excellent indeed is
what you have done. Rest well assured, O handmaid
of God, in the gracious favour of your Lord. Verily
He will sustain you in your efforts for the advancement
of His Cause and in rendering service to the
world of humanity. Exert your utmost endeavour,
and expend whatever is dear to you in this glorious
path that you may earn the crown of righteousness,
imperishable and everlasting.

Indeed the peoples of the world spend their days
in idle imaginings, wholly oblivious to the Truth.
Know of a certainty that the ornament of life is to be
arrayed with the vesture of praiseworthy conduct
and be attired with the crown of goodly deeds.

All the members of the family and myself are
enjoying excellent health and we send our loving
greetings and best wishes to you and to all the
beloved friends there. I earnestly beseech from His
holy Threshold that He may purge you from every
affliction, grant you perfect health and may aid you
to serve His sublime Cause in this glorious Day.
